What You’ll Learn In Transcending Trauma Healing Complex Trauma With Internal Family Systems

Training Description
SUMMARY OF THE TRAINING

A total of 20 teaching hours will be counted towards your training.

Offering Therapy Services for patients with PTSD is challenging for many clinicians as these latter ones could benefit from the Internal Family Systems model to accurately work with extreme reactions, multiple comorbidities, difficulty with boundaries, and volatility in relationships.

Internal Family Systems Therapy (IFS) has a unique way of addressing and overcoming the complexities of relational trauma. Understanding the deep complexity of the mind in its neurobiology and its multiplicity.

This particular workshop is relevant for those familiar with the model to understand the subtleties of maintaining a relationship with their patients while conducting IFS therapy appropriately.

This model addresses the cognitive by pointing to and discharging distorted thoughts and beliefs; while it also incorporates the body as it supports movement and the discharge of physical sensations, and facilitates the release of painful feelings (such as unworthiness, loneliness, and lack of love) by healing the wounds that parts of us carry.
